Variety’s 90th Annual Gala raised over $500,000 to sponsor more adaptive bikes, strollers, and communication devices for eligible children with disabilities throughout the organization’s 54-county service area in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

The event began boldly as the sponsors of The Jerome Bettis Bus Stops Here Foundation ran out of the Steeler tunnel and onto the field, surrounded by smoke and followed by a fantastic display of fireworks.

Attendees enjoyed a delicious — mainly vegan and vegetarian — meal and an open bar featuring two signature drinks: the “Spay” Breeze and “Mosc-Owl” Mule. Jonny Hartwell, a DJ at 3WS, provided the evening’s playlist, as attendees bid on live and silent auctions.
